Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to write a platform independent
c-application running as job on a sun solaris multiprocessor machine,
connecting to an oracle database and creating a very simple xml-file
from the data extracted.

Could you maybe give me some advice where to start reading about that
theme? Usually I develope windows applications, but this time my
software has to run on sun solaris.

Btw. it would be perfect, if there are some database librarys
available, which are more or less platform independent, so that I can
develop my application on my windows workstation and (maybe after some
simple changes) let run it later on the solaris server.

In fact, I think there should be a solution for this problem, cause my
application is very simple:
1.) Read in data from database
2.) Do some minimal changes to the database
3.) write the xml-files

Do you know of any emulator for sun solaris on windows?

Thanks for all your help,
Anton

Hi,

This would all be a lot easier if you did this with Java instead of
'C'.  If you went the Java route, you could use JDBC to interface to
Oracle, and your application would tend to be more platform-independent.

JMHO...

Given the goal further processing of the query Perl would also be a
good choice.
